    The £1,999.99 price tag is a bit ludacris for what they provide. For that kind of money I would run cables around the house and save myself about £1500.

      @General_internet_use_only £500 cause he is gonna end up wiring his whole home with RJ45 or Fibre Optic cables.
      Which means he would do more than just chucking a cable from one end to the other of his home. Which comes with it's own skills like filling holes, sanding and drilling holes for the cables.

    Even the stuff shown here is “wasting your money”, it’s best to import one of the $50 WiFi 7 routers instead of paying $200+ for the exact same thing. TP Link BE3600 and BE6500 can’t be beat for the average high performance home user. Us westerners don’t know how badly our companies are screwing us everyday on “inflation”.

      i don’t know much about the 6500 but be3600 has pretty bad wireless performance, it’s main selling point is the single 2.5gbps ethernet port. It does not even have 6ghz, so the “wifi7” capability is kinda a scam. MLO is still unmatured technology anyways, most people would not use it.
      If you truly want a good router, TPlink archer AX72 would definitely has better wireless performance
      The 3600 is just using the “wifi 7” title, and is kinda misleading

    Great Video! I actually tried the extenders too and was not a fan. However, i just made the jump to Eero Mesh Routers and WOW! I have 2 and they go on sale for around 200 sometimes, i got mine for 250$. It works like a dream. One is directly into my Modem and the other is, WIRELESSLY, in the middle of my house and it boosted my wifi in EVERY room even my garage has great signal now too. The best part is I was able to direct connect to the second wireless router and my PC is getting the FULL 1 gig Signal and the wifi is basically full at 850 to 950! It’s incredible tech. I hear it only works either their Routers, though not their extenders. I have the Pro Wifi 6E

    I use the Deco PX50 mesh system. Was about £260 for 3 units. Mainly as I've got a dead wifi room which coincidentally is my office/gaming room. I connect my pc to one of the satellites via ethernet and because the px50 uses both WiFi 6e and power line tech it worked a charm. I actually often get slightly faster speeds than what I pay for. But here's the thing with mesh systems and other WiFi tech, what works for me maybe and probably won't work for you and your house, it's a bit trial and error! Great vid I enjoyed it.

    For me, we had to change our net from copper to air and I think that one we went with was wifi 5, and went from like 20mbps to about 300mbps. but for some reason I get 300mbps+ download speeds but my MP games like marvel rivals and rocket league lag like ass still. thankfully, it's not as bad now as it was. usually, we didn't have much lag if at all playing rocket league but the last few years the lag in MP games was ridiculous. Almost couldn't play the game. but now it's still got some lag. or at least high ping about 120-130 ping. so the rubber banding is still there a bit.

      Yes that's a valid point. The main issue is that a lot of people don't always have their computer near their router. You can run a long ethernet cable form the router to the PC, but it may not be feasible. I agree that a wired connection is the best connection, but it isn't always possible or feasible.
